Thanks Jim, they really are easy on the eyes huh.
My pics suck, they are much better in real life.
All PM's answered, thanks for the interest.
 
I wouldn't mind having that Tiltleist conversion, but I have too many cues right now. Dom is a good guy to deal with. I am still loving that Varnebert you sold me!;) Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Neil, much appreciated. You would have never gotten that cue back if I had any clue on what the hell I was doing.:) You were right, it is the Indian and not the arrow for the most part.:D (Unless your talking about a full Varney J/B. Thats the only arrow this Indian got to work.)

Stanley, I'm sorry that the cue is not in perfect condition. It does have a few very small dings. I would not refinish, but thats me. Now as for the wrap, I'm not sure who paid Andy to make this cue for them, but they wanted an Irish linen wrap, or someone down the line did want an Irish linen wrap put on. Either way I highly doubt that someone took off a leather or cork wrap to put on an Irish linen wrap. And even if they did, it is their perogitive. I dont really think that this makes them an idiot. It just gives them the wrap that they want. My friend is not dying to sell these. He can hold onto them and still have food to eat. I'm sorry you dont like the wrap, but the price I gave you is the lowest he will go. I will not PM you unless you PM me first with a request with more info. Take care, Dom.
 
On the Gilbert titliest 3/8-10 with ivory joint. is that a full cap ivory joint or sleeve? Are those ferrules butt cap are ivory also?
 
Hey Kenny, Hope you've been well. I still love that Lizard wrap you put on my Mottey. Now, the ferrules on the Titliest are not Ivory. Neither is the butt cap. The joint is however solid Ivory. It is not a sleeve. Thanks for the interest. Dom. BTW, heres a link to more pics of both Gillberts. There is one of the joint from the other side.

This was my original cue that I had Andy Convert for me. I wanted the cue to remain full splice and I thought the white/green irish linen provided a classic/traditional look. I traded the cue a year or so after I had it. I can assure you that this cue plays jam up.

BTW the cue was converted from a two piece Hoppe that was worked on prior to and had linen on it already.
 
Thank you sir for the info. Its much appreciated.
See Stanley, he doesnt sound at all like an idiot to me.:D
